Tinkerbelle

Tinkerbelle

.

During the voyage Manry was knocked overboard by big waves, suffered from hallucinations, repaired a broken rudder in mid-ocean, and was woken up one morning by a surfacing submarine.

Manry later wrote about the voyage and its preparation in his book "Tinkerbelle". "Tinkerbelle", a little wooden Old Town "Whitecap" sailboat, was originally built by the Old Town Canoe Co. of Old Town, Maine. Manry extensively modified her himself for the voyage by adding a cabin and more seaworthy cockpit. Tinkerbelle's official registration number painted on her bow was OH 7013 AR.

"Tinkerbelle" is on display indoors at the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. [cite web |url=http://www.wrhs.org/index.php/crawford/tinkerbelle |title=Tinkerbelle |accessdate=2008-09-14 |publisher=Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum]
